While it's safe to macro out *some* acc and att for STR and WS secondary modifiers... don't macro out *too* much. (Although if you have some way of guaranteeing a hit, you don't need acc.) Boosting base damage with the latter doesn't do any good if you whiff due to insufficient acc or pDIF multiplies your damage to a small fraction due to insufficient att.

Go by trial and error. Start macroing in one or two pieces and see if you're still getting roughly the same TP return while still getting better numbers. If so, try another. Nobody can tell you yes or no to your question because we don't know your gear setup, your food of choice, merits, mob you're fighting, etc. etc. etc.

Screw around with it and hopefully you'll find your niche.

Sole Sushi is pretty much the standard sushi choice for a melee DD, regardless of job.
